Anti-Jewish letter ammunition for Stephen Goodson ilk
Last week’s Jewish Report contained three articles denouncing the anti-Jewish action by the Public Protector. The paper unfortunately contained an anti-Jewish letter by Lionel Marcus, which provides ammunition for Holocaust denier Stephen Goodson and others like him to substantiate their rhetoric against Jews.

The letter starts by stating: “Many examples in history and in recent times show Jews acting publicly in a manner presenting them with a certain face, which is very different to the manner in which they treat their fellow Jew”. The latter general statement and the rest of the letter support the following phrases by Stephen Goodson:
“The unsound business practices of Jews”
“That the system of international banking is and always has been, an unadulterated evil and that Jews, through their supposed underhanded, unscrupulous practices, have been guilty of…”
Many other phrases.
The above phrases are taken from the article by Nicola Miltz, on page 3 of last week’s Jewish Report.
The Beth Din in South Africa is available for Jews to settle any malpractice between Jews. The letter by Lionel Marcus in which he paints all Jews with the same brush, does not belong in a Jewish newspaper. Say no to lashon hara.
